No need to disconnect anything. With the power on (light lit) you should get neon on both wires of the switch. That you are getting nothing suggests that the switch is in the neutral Can you verify that with the switch OFF (light not lit) you do get neon on one end of the switch and not the other.

Streaming is working fine for us. Except that England seem to be determined to lose the cricket to India, again. I did notice that DNS at 1.1.1.1 be being blocked for a while, not sure why but changing to 8.8.8.8 fixed those problems.

I thought the angle-grinder would be a bit "brutal" considering the wall thickness. But I just tried it on some of the bits I cut off, with a 1mm cutting disc, did the trick no problem. Wrapped the pipe in a rag (mind it doesn't catch) and held gently in the vice. So, there's the answer, or at least one of many possibilities.

Yeah, no leak, but I know about it, I'm sure you know the feeling The Dremel (we have one) sounds like a smart idea. Spare tubes https://www.lazada.co.th/products/-i3715655888-s14072448061.html

I also got a bunch of these to avoid the silicone! https://www.lazada.co.th/products/sb-125-15-2-i2054292693-s6700658525.html

You know the "chrome" plated ones used on visible urinal and sink wastes. These: - Our "handy person" butchered the vertical bit when cutting to length. We've hidden the dinged bit at the back but Madam is sure to notice, luckily you can get spare pipes.

It seems a lot easier to go back in time on the PC rather than the App.

Yeah, mine go all the way back to my first ever Lazada order.

The next step, after confirming that the switch really is in the live line rather than the neutral would be to add a mains-rated capacitor between L and N at the fitting. This would divert any leakage current coming via capacitive coupling in the wiring. A 1uF fan run capacitor would be a cheap and readily available part, no need for a resistor.

Just to add to the supply voltage confusion. PEA supplies are nominally 220V. MEA supplies are nominally 230V. Both are +-10% (ish). And that meter looks like a pretty standard el-cheapo analog meter to me. It has some flashy bits, but at only 20,000 ohms/volt there's no way it's going to be useful for modern electronic measurements.

Fine, your required wiring would be determined by the inverter you intend using.

@JoeyMac how big is your condo? Lots of windows? Which way do they face? If you can't actually determine the actual A/C size we can "guesstimate" from that info.

Would you put the EVSE (car charger) near the panels or near the house?

Dear Bel I'm a truck driver who still works a 15-hour day at 73. In my 20s, I married a posh girl I loved because she was skinny. (I hate myself for this, but if a girlfriend put on weight I'd engineer a split.) We had two children I loved, but she had an affair. A while later I met a lovely girl called Pat who was 7½ st. Over the years her weight doubled, so we split up but remained friends... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13120823/BEL-MOONEY-wrong-leave-wife-Thai-romance.html

Nah that will work just fine with correctly sized cable.

I always thought that any publicity is good publicity! https://6abc.com/plumber-truck-isis-terror-lawsuit/1123517/

Google is racing to fix its new AI-powered tool for creating pictures, after claims it was over-correcting against the risk of being racist. Users said the firm's Gemini bot supplied images depicting a variety of genders and ethnicities even when doing so was historically inaccurate. For example, a prompt seeking images of America's founding fathers turned up women and people of colour. The company said its tool was "missing the mark". https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68364690

This probably isn't helping your consumption, do you have pet penguins?

Yeah, the important test is the one with the light ON. But it never hurts to do both, it will confirm that your test gear is functional.

How many units had you used for 7,500 Baht?? Do you get your bill from the condo management or direct from MEA/PEA?

A man went to the doctor’s office to get a double dose of Viagra. 👨‍⚕️ The doctor told him that he couldn’t allow him a double dose. “Why not?” asked the man. “Because it’s not safe,” replied the doctor. “But I need it really bad,” said the man. “Well, why do you need it so badly?” asked the doctor. The man said, “My girlfriend is coming into town on Friday; my ex-wife will be here on Saturday; and my wife is coming home on Sunday. Can’t you see? I must have a double dose.” The doctor finally relented saying, “Okay, I’ll give it to you, but you have to come in on Monday morning so that I can check you to see if there are any side effects.” On Monday, the man dragged himself in; his arm in a sling. The doctor asked, “What happened to you?” The man said, “No one showed up.”

As I've noted in another thread. The electrons don't care what colour the insulation is. Electricians do, but then check the function anyway. Relying on wire colour (particularly in Thailand) is unwise to say the least.
